SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The appliance becomes hot during operation. Take care not to touch the hot parts inside
the oven.
Always keep children away from the cooker.
While in operation direct contact with the cooker may cause burns!
Ensure that small items of household equipment, including connection leads, do not touch
the hot oven or the hob as the insulation material of this equipment is usually not resistant
to high temperatures.
 Do not leave the cooker unattended when frying. Oils and fats may catch re due to
overheating or boiling over.
Do not put pans weighing over 15 kg on the opened door of the oven and pans over 25
kg on the hob.
Do not use harsh cleaning agents or sharp metal objects to clean the door as they can
scratch the surface, which could then result in the glass cracking.
 Donotusethecookerintheeventofatechnicalfault.Anyfaultsmustbexedbyan
appropriatelyqualiedandauthorisedperson.
In the event of any incident caused by a technical fault, disconnect the power and report
the fault to the service centre to be repaired.
The rules and provisions contained in this instruction manual should be strictly observed.
Do not allow anybody who is not familiar with the contents of this instruction manual to
operate the cooker.
The cooker should not be cleaned using steam cleaning equipment.

Using energy in a respon-
sible way not only saves
money but also helps the
environment. So let’s save
energy! And this is how you
can do it:
Use proper pans for cooking.
Panswiththick,atbasescansaveupto1/3
on electric energy. Remember to cover pans
if possible otherwise you will use four times
as much energy!
Match the size of the saucepan to the
surface of the heating plate.
A saucepan should never be smaller than a
heating plate.
Ensure heating plates and pan bases
are clean.
Soils can prevent heat transfer – and repeat-
edly burnt–on spillages can often only be
removed by products which cause damage
to the environment.
Do not uncover the pan too often
(a watched pot never boils!).
Do not open the oven door unnecessarily
often.
Switch off the oven in good time and make
use of residual heat.
For long cooking times, switch off heating
plates5to10minutesbeforenishingcook-
ing. This saves up to 20% on energy.
Only use the oven when cooking larger
dishes.
Meat of up to 1 kg can be prepared more
economically in a pan on the cooker hob.
HOW TO SAVE ENERGY
Make use of residual heat from the
oven.
If the cooking time is greater than 40 minutes
switch off the oven 10 minutes before the
end time.
Important! When using the timer,
set appropriately shorter cooking
times according to the dish being
prepared.
Make sure the oven door is properly
closed.
Heat can leak through spillages on the door
seals. Clean up any spillages immediately.
Do not install the cooker in the direct
vicinity of refrigerators/freezers.
Otherwise energy consumption increases
unnecessarily.

tive packaging was used to

INSTALLATION
Installing the cooker
The kitchen should be dry and airy and
have effective ventilation according to the
existingtechnicalprovisions.
The room should be equipped with a ven-
tilationsystemthatpipesawayexhaust
fumes created during combustion. This
system should consist of a ventilation
grid or hood. Hoods should be installed
according to the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions. The cooker should be placed so
as to ensure free access to all control
elements.
 Coatingorveneerusedonttedfurniture
must be applied with a heat resistant
adhesive (100°C). This prevents surface
deformation or detachment of the coat-
ing. If you are unsure of your furniture’s
heat resistance, you should leave ap-
proximately 2 cm of free space around
the cooker. The wall behind the cooker
should be resistant to high temperatures.
During operation, its back side can warm
up to around 50°C above the ambient
temperature.
The cooker should stand on a hard, even
oor(donotputitonabase).
Before you start using the cooker it should
be leveled, which is particularly important
for fat distribution in a frying pan. To this
purpose, adjustable feet are accessible
after removal of the drawer. The adjust-
ment range is +/- 5 mm.

OPERATION
Combined grill
(Grill and the top heater)
When the “combined grill” is ac-
tive it enables grilling with the grill
and with the top heater switched on at the
same time. This function allows a higher tem-
perature at the top of the cooking area, which
causes more intense browning of the dish and
permits larger portions to be grilled.
Fan and combined grill on
When the knob is turned to this
position, the oven activates the
combined grill and fan function.
In practice, this function allows
the grilling process to be speeded
up and an improvement in the taste of the
dish. You should only use the grill with the
oven door shut.
Switching on the oven is indicated by red
signal light, turning on. If the red light goes
out, it means the oven has reached the set
temperature. If a recipe recommends plac-
ing dishes in a warmed-up oven, this should
be not done before the red light goes out for
thersttime.Whenbaking,theredlightwill
temporarily come on and go out (to maintain
the temperature inside the oven).

19
In order to switch on the grill you need to:
set the oven knob to the position marked
with .
heattheovenforapproximately5minutes
(with the oven door shut).
insert a tray with a dish onto the appropri-
ate cooking level, and if you are grilling
on the grate insert a tray for dripping on
the level immediately below (under the
grate).
the oven door shut.
OPERATION
Use of the grill
The grilling process operates through infrared
rays emitted onto the dish by the incandes-
cent grill heater.
Caution!
The grill should be used with the oven
door shut.
When the grill is in use, accessible
parts can become hot.
It is recommended to keep children
away from the oven.
For grilling with the function the
temperature must be set to 250°C.

BAKING IN THE OVEN – PRACTICAL HINTS
Baking
we recommend using the baking trays which were provided with your cooker;
it is also possible to bake in cake tins and trays bought elsewhere which should be
put on the drying rack; for baking it is better to use black trays which conduct
heat better and shorten the baking time;
shapes and trays with bright or shiny surfaces are not recommended when using the
conventional heating method (top and bottom heaters), use of such tins can result in
undercooking the base of cakes;
before the cake is taken out of the oven, check if it is ready using a wooden stick (if
the cake is ready the stick should come out dry and clean after being inserted into
the cake);
after switching off the oven it is advisable to leave the cake inside for about 5 min.;
 thebakingparametersgiveninTablesareapproximateandcanbecorrectedbased
onyourownexperienceandcookingpreferences;
 ifinformationgiveninrecipebooksissignicantlydifferentfromthevaluesincluded
in this instruction manual, please apply the instructions from the manual.
